Wrong list, check this one. Booking, Zalando, Spotify, Bet365, Yandex.

Isn't Booking a US corporation and Yandex is a Russian one. Generally when people say "Europe" in this context they are mostly referring to the EU and the "satellites".

Regardless, the EU alone has 50% more population than the US, while the population is about as educated, yet it's only a small fraction of the US on this list.

Booking is headquartered in Amsterdam (and not just for some sort of tax shenanigans).
